What a Relationship Consultant is Not:
Counselor
Consultants are not considered counselors. Counseling is a type of talk therapy in which the client discusses his problems while the counselor provides guidance and advice, and possible exercises. Counseling is typically performed in a pre-scheduled series of six-to-ten sessions, and more if required. At a minimum, counselors hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology or social work, and many have a master’s degree.
Psychotherapist
While psychotherapists may provide consultation, consultants are not psychotherapists. Psychotherapy focuses on talking about past issues to understand and resolve problems in the present, and often occurs in a clinical setting.
Psychologist
While many psychologists are relationship consultants, relationship consultants are not psychologists and should never provide advice on mental health issues, such as clinically diagnosing depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis, and so on.
Problems Relationship Consultants are called to fix:
- Unresolved issues:
“We keep having the same old arguments, over and over again!”
- Displaced anger:
“Lose weight. Stop drinking beer. All she does is nag, nag, nag!”
- Lack of communication:
“I feel as though I am talking to a wall. He is detached and never at home.”
- Lack of trust:
“He says he is working late, but after the affair I no longer trust him!”
- Lack of confidence:
“I lack the confidence to put myself out there after 20 years of marriage and two kids.”
